Acts 1-28
The greatest event to happen in the book of Acts, is when the Holy Spirit touches each of the apostles.

Some people now days don't understand how important it is to get close to the sinners. As Peter did the Gentiles, we shouldn't judge and say anybody isn't old enough to receive the blessings of God.
